[Development] Request for new Playground Repo

[Andrew Wooster]

The QtLocation BlackBerry plugin already uses it, for one (but copies it locally).  We're also doing some work in QtSystems that also would use it for the BlackBerry implementation (but in the short term, we'll copy locally again).

I'll try and figure out if there's any other BlackBerry specific code in Qt that already copies it, but that's all I'm aware of right now.

that's the part that worries me slightly. what dependency graph between
the modules do you have in mind? where are the plugins going to end up?
